    Thanks for the great review. I'm awaiting mine to arrive from a GunBroker purchase. Glad to hear the positives. I saw the gun at Gander Mtn. Castleton, which will have four (4) to sell on Thanksgiving Day. Please post if / when you find a good holster. I'd like to carry mine OWB because it's small and would still be unobtrusive...

    Beretta has some OWB holsters on their site ($45), the only ones I've seen to date not custom...

    I just ordered the High Noon Split Decision, but I ordered the Kahr PM 9,40 3" version. I compared the dimensions of the guns and, unless the front of the trigger guard where it angles up to the frame is a problem, it should be a perfect fit. I talked to High Noon, and of course they're interested to know how it works and I can send it back if it doesn't fit.

    We'll have to compare notes and see whether that or the Glock 26,27,33,39 model fits better.

    EDIT: I promised to send them pictures. I'm sure they're keen to know which model should be listed as compatible with the BU9 Nano, so let's try to help them out :)

    Here's a picture of a target that I shot my first 50 rounds at with my new Nano:

    Pictures of the High Noon Split Decision. It fits kind of tight and it was the one made for the G226/27.

    The Nano fits perfectly in the G26 size Split Decision. I don't know how you could get a G26 in it. Sure is comfortable wearing it at 3:00. It hooks under your belt too. Very secure.

    Thanks for the info on this, I'm really looking forward to getting one for my wife. She needs a mouse gun to carry... plus she loves her Beretta 92 FS.

    I got one I'll sell for $1k :D

    Seriously though the Nano fits in a Crossbreed Mini Tuck for a PF9. I did warm it up with a hair dryer because it was a little snug. The first time I put the Nano in after warming, it was a perfect fit. ;)

    The PM9 fit it also.

    I always have my wife take my holsters to the beauty parlor.;) Here is an update regarding the Nano at Bass Pro. I drove over there today, Wednesday 3/7/12. They were sold out, but the price on the empty stand did say $429.99.

    Nice review. I haven't seen one in person yet. Is the G27 that you have in the side by side the same size as the G36 ?

    No, the Glock 36 is slightly larger than the Glock 27. Its inbetween the compact Glock (e.g., Glock 23) and the Glock 27.

    G36:
    Length 177mm
    Width 28mm
    Height 121 mm

    G27
    Length 166mm
    Width 30mm
    Height 106

    G23
    Length 187mm
    Width 30mm
    Height 127mm

    I just picked up my Nano today for $439. I didn't feel like driving and the time to go to Blythe's or Bass, so I picked it up at Gander Mountain. So far so good...I'm liking it ALAWT. Put a couple boxes of FMJ through it without a problem.

    I've been contemplating picking up a sub-compact 9mm semi auto for awhile now. I've pretty much been a revolver pocket gun carrier up to this point for my CCW.

    I recently sold my S&W J-frame and decided to make the switch. I've been kind of impressed with the feedback on the Beretta Nano so I went ahead and pulled the trigger and bought one at the LGS this morning. Have'nt had a chance to shoot it yet but i'm looking forward to putting a few down range.

    Here's a vid I came across in my research that helped me in making my decision to go with the Nano. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsIr3xsv2w&feature=relmfu[/ame]
